Sg 1 - Blog Posts

Starting farsacapes to fill the void of xena and im so happy to have TWO late season sg1 team members??? Vala get to beat up two of my boys??

Also yea the first episode in sg1 Vala shows up and just beats the shit out of Daniel (which is sex bc of her Naquadah rich blood, his biggest weakness) and now she kicks the shit out of Ben Browder! GirlBoss

SHE HATES COMPASSION OMG learned what it was and she already hated it

The politics of this show are wild and I am on day 2 of watching the piolet of this show and its soooo slow omg!! This is why I like to start a few episodes in so I see them in action instead of all the set up. Plus it's more fun to watch after I kinda have the feel for the characters

If every episode ends with a message to his dad im not gonna be able to make it far! That shit is SAD AND I RESENT IT

the military has ruined daniel jackson

death didnt help him AT ALLL ALSO BRING BACK JONAS QUINN

If you already know that the game is rigged, then you have ragequit before you ever started playing.

He has already disgraced himself a lot, now he wants to come to you

So, I'm about 7 seasons into SG-1, so spoilers for that, but I have a question.

Does anything cool ever happen to Sam the same way it does for the others?

Teal'c is an Alien who switched from having a larva to that injection thing, and he has a son, and he's fighting oppression from the Goa'ulds.

Daniel Jackson was on the first mission to Abydos, got a wife, lost his wife, died, became an ancient, helped O'Neill and Teal'c as an ancient, tried to save Abydos, got turned back to a human, lost most of his memory, all of that

O'Neill lost his son, was also on the first mission I believe, is pretty much the leader of SG-1, and apparently, as I have recently learned, IS THE NEXT STEP IN HUMAN EVOLUTION.

Even the stand-in! Jonas is also an alien, his planet is home to Naquadria, the otherworldly bugs, he was the first to see those, something something the time Carter and O'Neill almost exploded into water, he showed whats-his-face, I believe it was Anubis, where the Naquadria is and massively screwed up via doing so.

What about Carter? She made leaps in Stargate research, sure, but what else? She never resurrected, she's not an alien, she never got Ancient Knowledge bluetoothed into her head, she's just smart.

When Daniel Jackson sees her for the first real time after ascension, it's not emotional or plot important like O'Neill or Teal'c, he addresses her, then addresses Jonas THE SAME WAY, then talks to O'Neill. I recently saw the episode where O'Neill gets cloned, and there's a scene where she's trying to give a lecture on jets to new recruits, and guess what?

The new recruits ignore her completely. They laugh at her. Then FIFTEEN YEAR OLD O'Neill clone comes in and they IMMEDIATELY LISTEN TO HIM? They would sooner listen to a 15 year old boy about these devices than an accomplished scientist and pilot.

For the first few seasons, it seemed like she was always the one coming up with ideas. Until Jonas came along, and suddenly he was the quick thinker. Now I'm not quite sure what role she even plays. She's a good shot with a gun, and with alien tech, but ultimately that's Teal'cs and maybe O'Neills job. She's smart, but Cloneill was able to get back from an Asgard ship easily, and it's not her they named a ship after, it's him.

I just want to know, does Sam Carter ever become plot relevant in the same way the others do, Alien, Ascended, Evolved, or does she just stay being a way for the writers to pen in solutions to episodes that the other characters wouldn't learn, and an occasional love interest for O'Neill? Cuz this is starting to piss me off. The only time I can remember her being relevant was when a Tokra 'possessed' her, and her dad being the Tokra 'representative', but ultimately those matter more for connections than they do for her character.

To be clear, this isn't me criticizing her characterization. She's probably my favorite character on the whole team, and she's written fairly well, I just want to know when, if at all, Sam Carter will have an important impact on the universe like the other characters, outside of one thing that happened before when the show is set.
